This pack has lots of fun activities all about chocolate!
We will go on a journey with Coco Loco the Cocoa Bean and
his friend Pablo the Super Banana.
It even has some yummy recipes for you to try!
If you haven’t got access to a printer,
you can do the activities in your writing book.
You will need to print the world map at the end of this pack.
Where does our food come from?
The food we eat does not just come from the UK.
It comes from all over the world!
TASK: Have a look in the kitchen or the fruit bowl and see if you can
find 5 foods that were made or grown here in the UK and 5 foods
that come from other countries. Write the name and/or draw a
picture of each food in the correct column.

Which country is it from?
Can you find the countries on your world map and label them?

The Cacao Tree
Chocolate is made out of cocoa beans.
A cocoa bean grows on a cacao tree.
TASK: Research what a cacao tree looks like.
Draw a picture underneath or in your writing book.
Add as much detail as you can and label the
different parts.
What conditions does a cacao tree need to grow? Think about the
weather. Do you think a cacao tree could grow here in England?

The Fairtrade logo
What is different between these two pictures?
Do you know what the sticker means?
The sticker shows us that these bananas are Fairtrade.
Fairtrade means that the farmers growing the food get more money
to feed their family and send their children to school. The picture
shows the Fairtrade logo. You can find it on packaging or sometimes
on a sticker on a fruit. Can you redraw the Fairtrade logo or come
up with your own Fairtrade logo?
